Research is the fuel of hope and the natural result of curiosity and observation. Research drives us to understand our health better, to diagnose diseases earlier and more accurately, to provide better treatments and cures and even to understand our genetic inheritance and make better lifestyle choices for our health.
The Trust aims to contribute to research on a national and international basis by:
-
funding research ourselves, where resources are available
-
contributing to thinking on where research resources can best be spent
-
giving feedback to bodies like NICE where they are seeking the views of patients about priorities for research or where research data needs to be made more meaningful by taking views from patients about what is important to them.
The Trust is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC).
